Miss. is an abbreviation, it is polite title of an unmarried woman or girl, usually used before the surname or sometimes alone in direct address and comes form the word 'mistress'.

There is a common misconception that Ms. is the abbreviation. In fact Ms. is a term that came about during the women's movement that gave women a title that did not define their marital status. It is pronounced "Mizz". Miss. refers to unmarried ladies.
